Description

Fine and classified (FGS) encoder that memory bandwidth efficiency is high
Invention field
The present invention relates to the realization of a kind of fine and classified (FGS) encoder.
Background of invention
Video stream transmission on Internet protocol (IP) network allows to carry out various multimedia application.The stream transmission of internet video then provides real-time continuous media delivery of content and demonstration, and the scarcity that service quality on the internet (QoS) is guaranteed compensates simultaneously.Because the bandwidth on the IP network and other performance parameters (for example packet loss rate) can change and have unpredictability, therefore in general, the most of streaming solutions that propose at present all are based on certain layering (or gradable) Video Coding Scheme.
There is the gradable method of several videos to be adopted at present by MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and video compression standard H.263 and so on.In these standards, defined the gradable type of time, space and quality (SNR).The scalable video of all these types all comprises basic layer (BL) and an one or more enhancement layer (EL).Usually, the BL of scalable video stream partly represents is to the described stream needed minimal data amount of decoding.The EL part of video flowing is then represented additional information, has therefore strengthened the demonstration of vision signal when receiver is carried out decoding.
Fine and classified property (FGS) is a kind of recently by the selected brand-new video compression framework that is used for the streaming application of MPEG-4 standard.FGS can support the scene that various bandwidth changes, wherein the common network that is based on IP, the especially internet that characterizes of these scenes.Use the image of this class graduated encoding to decode by progressive mode.That is to say that decoder can just be decoded and display image after receiving very small amount of data.Along with decoder receives more multidata, the quality of decoded picture will improve gradually, up to receiving, decode and having shown complete information.In these leading international standards, gradual image encoding is one of pattern supported in the rest image texture coding instrument of JPEG and MPEG-4 video.
EL has used gradual (embedded) codec to compress SNR and time domain remaining data.So, the FGS residual signal is to compress in the mode of bit plane one by one, and wherein this compression begins from the highest significant position plane and finishes (referring to Fig. 1 and 2) in least significant bit planes.
Fig. 1 is one and has shown and pass through entire frame and the diagram of the conventional order of gradual (bit plane connects a bit plane) from highest significant position plane (MSB) 100 to least significant bit planes (LSB) 102 coding.Although only shown an independent interposition plane 101 here, also can encode to any amount of interposition plane.
Fig. 2 is a diagram that has shown the scanning sequency of FSG enhancement layer residue DCT coefficient.This scanning starts from MSB 100 and carries out towards LSB 102.The representative part that in Fig. 2, has only shown bit plane 100 and 101.Each bit plane piece of 8 * 8 200~204,206,210,211,214 all is to use conventional zigzag pattern to scan, and this scanning starts from the upper left corner of piece and ends at the described lower right corner.Use term " bit plane piece " to represent a part of remaining data with the corresponding single bit plane of single piece inside here.
Mode with tetrad (macro block) scans this bit plane piece, begins from the upper left corner and proceeds in clockwise mode.This scanning starts from first bit plane.Connect arrow and then shown described order: after the lower right corner that scans piece 200, scanning proceeds to the upper left corner of piece 201.Scanning begins to proceed to the upper left corner of piece 202 from the lower right corner of piece 201.Scanning begins to proceed to the upper left corner of piece 203 from the lower right corner of piece 202.Scanning begins to proceed to the next macro block that starts from piece 204 upper left corners from the lower right corner of piece 203.After having finished the scanning of first bit plane, will begin second bit plane of same frame scanned for entire frame.More particularly, to each bit plane b=1,2 ..., m, before first BOB(beginning of block) of next bit plane b+1, all piece k=1,2 of bit plane b ..., scan remaining data among the n.
What Fig. 3 showed is a FGS encoder 300 that is used for the prior art of basic layer and enhancement layer.Fig. 3 has shown an example of the function structure of base layer coder 302 and enhancement layer encoder 304.Although the encoding operation that is based on dct transform that Fig. 3 shows also can use other conversion (for example small echo).
Base layer coder 302 comprises a DCT piece 306, a quantize block 308 and an entropy coder 310 that produces part BL stream from initial video.In addition, base layer coder 302 also comprises the motion estimation block 320 that produces two groups of motion vectors from initial video.Wherein one group of motion vector is corresponding to basic frame, and another is organized then corresponding to the time enhancement frame.In addition, also comprised a multiplexer (not shown) that is used for multiplexing base layer motion vector and BL stream here.
As shown in Figure 3, base layer coder 302 also comprises an inverse quantization block 312, inverse DCT piece 314, motion compensation block 316 and a frame memory 318.
As shown in Figure 3, EL encoder 304 comprises a DCT residual image piece 350 that is used to preserve residual image and MC residual image.Residual image then is to be produced by a subtracter 351 that deducts output from the input of quantize block 308.
BL encoder 304 also comprises a memory 352, has wherein comprised the residual image DCT coefficient of decimal format, and a shielding scanning block 354 that is used to shield and scan all FGS bit planes.Comprised the FGS entropy coding piece 356 that produces the FGS enhanced flow by the coding residual image in addition.
In the routine of FGS encoder 300 realizes (referring to Fig. 3), after having carried out dct transform 306, the DCT residual signal is decomposed at several bit planes (from msb to lsb or certain pre-determined bit plane, for example bp_max).
In piece 354, bit plane is scanned in the mode that a bit plane connects a bit plane then, and in piece 356 it is carried out the distance of swimming and VLC coding.Concerning a complete frame, the continuous sweep bit plane needs subsequently the DCT coefficient of preserving in the memory 352 to be conducted interviews.In addition, because the data in the memory 352 are preserved with decimal system mode rather than binary mode (just a bit plane connects a bit plane), therefore visiting the certain bits plane not only needs to obtain corresponding data, but also will use complicated masking operation to extract the bit plane of expectation.
In conventional encoder 300, need to use a memory 352 to preserve the DCT residual coefficient.In addition, for each bit plane, will carry out repeated access to this memory 352 here.And, in piece 354, need to carry out several masking operations in order to obtain the expectation bit plane that to encode.To preserve those and the relevant state information of previous bit plane compression in addition.This is handled needs a large amount of storage access and computing capability.
Therefore, aspect calculating and storage access (bandwidth just), the efficient that the routine of FGS decoder 300 realizes is all very low.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is a kind of method and apparatus that is used to carry out fine granularity scalability.For each independent transform block in the picture frame, following steps will repeat.Also a plurality of corresponding residual coefficients have been decomposed here in addition for corresponding transform block.In the exploded view picture frame before the coefficient of next transform block, for corresponding transform block is handled corresponding a plurality of bit plane or discrete quantization step.

Describe in detail
In according to the preferred method of the present invention, no longer be before next of entire frame scanned than the low order plane, to carry out to the scanning that whole bit plane carried out of a whole frame.The substitute is, before the subsequent block of certain frame inside is handled, to each piece carried out complete scanning (from the highest effectively to least significant bit planes or from highest significant position plane to a pre-determined bit plane).
One exemplary embodiment is a kind of to save bandwidth of memory and to avoid the mode of computational complexity to come the alternative approach that the FGS frame is encoded.
The advantage of this new method is:
-the memory that is used for preserving simultaneously all DCT residual coefficients of picture frame no longer is essential;
-significantly reduced the bandwidth access (become and almost can ignore) of carrying out at different bit plane;
-each coefficient only carried out primary shielding is handled rather than be the repeatedly described processing of each bit plane execution;
-needn't preserve the encoding state information of before encoded (just the highest effectively) bit plane;
-FGS coding no longer needs a frame delay that is used for the FGS coding, basic layer and enhancement layer processing more closely can be combined thus, thereby realize higher efficient aspect computational complexity and storage access.
In order to realize this method, here directly the DCT residual coefficient of a complete DCT piece is handled, rather than the bit plane of a whole frame is handled.Below enumerated the false code that is used for general algorithm.
Algorithm
For each the DCT piece k in the image
Directly decompose the DCT residual coefficient in the corresponding positions plane;
The max of computing block k (| DC-coeff|)=Nmax (k)
For each bit plane b less than Nmax (k)
Each bit plane is handled, just it is carried out the distance of swimming and VLC coding
Preserve each bit plane at a diverse location that starts from known location
(if described is not first piece, and then encoded bitplane b is additional to after the b of encoded bitplane of previous piece)
Calculate the maximum among all Nmax of N=(k)
By adding different bit planes, thereby create bit stream through overcompression with sequence of importance (from msb to lsb)
Fig. 4 shows is the scanning sequency of the FGS enhancement layer residue DCT coefficient that is used to handle.Scanning sequency is from conventional sweep sequential update shown in Figure 2 and (yet in case finish scanning, transmission sequence is identical with the transmission sequence of the signal that conventional encoder 300 shown in Figure 3 is exported) of coming.More particularly, on bit plane b, after the upper left corner from bit plane piece 400 scanned the lower right corner, scanning will proceed to the upper left corner of the bit plane piece 401 on the bit plane b+1.Although in Fig. 4, only shown two bit planes (b and b+1), also can have any amount of bit plane.After the lower right corner that scans bit plane piece 401, if there be the 3rd bit plane, then scanning will proceed to the upper left corner of the 3rd first bit plane piece in the bit plane.Only after via each bit plane the bit plane piece 400,401 of first piece being scanned, described scanning just can proceed to the bit plane piece 410 of the piece that is in the second place among the first bit plane b.More generally, for any one piece k, all bit plane b=1,2 ..., the bit plane piece among the n all is to scan before first bit plane piece of scanning block k+1.
Fig. 6 is a flow chart that shows this algorithm.
Circulation of beginning in step 600.To be each independent transform block in the picture frame (for example DCT piece) k repeated execution of steps 602~614 here.
In step 602, the residue DCT coefficient in all bit planes of direct block of decomposition k.That is to say, will come the different bit plane pieces of block of decomposition k in the mode that a bit plane connects a bit plane here, rather than decompose the coefficient of whole bit plane in the mode that a piece connects a piece.
Circulation of beginning in step 604 is wherein to each coefficient repeated execution of steps 606 of piece k.In step 606, the absolute value of quantity (DC coefficient) is calculated.
In step 608, the NMAX (k) of piece (k) is set for abs (DC coefficient) maximum in all coefficients of piece k.
Circulation of beginning for piece k, is each bit plane b repeated execution of steps 612 and 614 in step 610.
Each bit plane to piece k in step 612 is handled, and just it is carried out the distance of swimming and VLC coding.
Each bit plane piece with piece k in step 614 is kept at the position that has nothing in common with each other that starts from known location.For instance, if current block k is not first piece, then the b of encoded bitplane of piece k partly is added on after the b of encoded bitplane of previous piece k-1 (not shown).Therefore, each bit plane that comes the b position in i DCT piece is kept in the position after the position that follows b bit plane in i-1 the DCT piece closely, wherein b be an integer and i be one greater than 1 integer.After each bit plane b has been repeated step 612~614, then be each piece k repeated execution of steps 602~614.Therefore, from the data arrangement of a plurality of bit planes in such compression bit stream, wherein said stream start from one with a plurality of amplitude peaks in a corresponding bit plane of amplitude peak.
In step 616, the sum of bit plane N is set at the maximum NMAX (k) in all pieces.
In step 618, add different bit planes by order (from MSB to LSB), thereby create compression bit stream according to bit plane importance.Preferably, in compression bit stream inside, the data of each bit plane all are arranged in it on the same position that compression bit stream had that Fig. 3 prior art encoder is produced.So just formed a compression bit stream, wherein comprised corresponding a plurality of bit planes of all DCT pieces in the picture frame, wherein the data in the compression bit stream are arranged according to bit plane.Then, this compression bit stream can be decoded by the decoder of the output of the conventional encoder 300 of any Fig. 3 that can decode.
By above-mentioned algorithm, needn't be in decomposable process and the DCT residual signal is deposited in the memory for after a while access.Do not need in addition to carry out continuous masking operation for different bit planes yet.
What Fig. 5 showed is an exemplary FGS encoder 500 that is used for basic layer and enhancement layer.Fig. 5 has shown a function structure example that is used for base layer coder 502 and enhancement layer encoder 504.Although the encoding operation that is based on dct transform that Fig. 5 shows also can use other conversion (for example small echo) here.
As shown in Figure 5, base layer coder 502 comprises a DCT piece 506, a quantize block 508 and an entropy coder 510 that produces part BL stream from initial video.In addition, base layer coder 502 also comprises the motion estimation block 520 that produces two groups of motion vectors from initial video.Wherein one group of motion vector is corresponding to basic frame, and another is organized then corresponding to the time enhancement frame.And wherein also comprised a multiplexer (not shown) that is used for multiplexing base layer motion vector and BL stream.
As shown in Figure 5, base layer coder 502 also comprises an inverse quantization block 512, inverse DCT piece 514, motion compensation block 516 and a frame memory 518.
EL encoder 504 comprises a DCT residual image piece 550 that is used to preserve residual image and MC residual image.Residual image then is to be produced by a subtracter 551 that deducts output from the input of quantize block 508.EL encoder 504 does not need to provide the memory with residue memory function of memory 352 in the prior art EL encoder 304.In addition, EL encoder 504 does not need necessary shielding and the scanning block 354 that is used to shield and scan all FGS bit planes in the prior art EL encoder 304 yet.The substitute is, the bit plane remaining data of each bit plane piece all is directly to be provided to FGS scanning and entropy coding piece 553 from DCT residual image piece 550, and this FGS scanning and entropy coding piece 553 also are included in so that produce the FGS enhanced flow by the decoding residual image.
In the exemplary realization of FGS encoder 500, after having carried out dct transform 506, before continuing next piece, the DCT residual signal of each independent piece (for example piece in the image upper left corner) all be in several bit plane pieces according to a bit plane connect that the mode of a bit plane decomposes continuously (from msb to lsb or certain pre-determined bit plane, bp_max for example), until till the bit plane piece of each bit plane all carried out scanning.
Then, for a kind of realization of compactness, the mode that connects a bit plane with a bit plane in piece 553 scans each piece separately and they is carried out the distance of swimming and VLC coding.Concerning each piece, the residual image data of all bit planes all are to obtain with the binary form that is used for encoding block 553, therefore there is no need to carry out complicated masking operation, in addition, encoding block 553 once only needs whole bit-plane datas of a piece, rather than from the data of the single bit plane of each piece in the frame.Therefore, here do not need in the prior art in order to achieve this end necessary mass-memory unit 352.
The exemplary method and the system that are used for fine granularity scalability have reduced the needed memory of realization FGS encoder, memory bandwidth and have reduced computational complexity.And the link between basic layer and the enhancement layer encoder becomes more tight, thereby allows more effectively to realize the FGS codec by eliminating unnecessary delay and storage.
Method disclosed herein can also be used in combination with FGS coding tools (selecting to strengthen and frequency weighting).Concerning frequency weighting, wherein be that a fixed matrix is applied to entire frame, can after dct transform, carry out displacement immediately thus.Concerning select strengthening, after complete frame was encoded, the displacement of the bit plane of specific macroblock can be carried out immediately or carry out in later phases before the actual scanning of bit plane and VLC coding.Wherein a kind of method in back provides greater flexibility and interactive the selection to strengthen, but exist need be more complicated memory and the defective of flow management.
In addition, except when outside the preceding FGS structure, this mechanism can also be used in the prediction framework of similar MC-FGS (motion compensation---fine and classified) and P-FGS (gradual fine and classified property).Though wherein different processing is used for P-FGS and MC-FGS, texture coding (FGS scanning just and entropy coding) but is identical.Therefore, aforesaidly constructedly can be applied to MC-FGS and P-FGS equally.
Although what exemplary encoder 500 used is dct transform, this method can be used for other conversion equally, for example block-based wavelet coding or match tracing, and even alternative SNR gradability (using discrete quantized step-length rather than bit plane).
The form that the present invention can adopt the processing of being carried out by computer and be used to implement the equipment of these processing is implemented.The present invention can also adopt the form of the computer program code in the tangible medium to be implemented, and wherein said tangible medium can be floppy disk, read-only memory (ROM), CD-ROM, hard disk, high density (" ZIP for example TM") removable disk driver or other any computer-readable recording mediums, wherein, when computer loaded computer program code and run time version, computer will become one and be used to implement equipment of the present invention.The present invention also can implement by the form that adopts computer program code, for example be kept at the computer program code that loads and/or carry out or pass through some transmission medium transmission in the storage medium, by computer, wherein for instance, described transmission is via electric wire or cable, carries out via optical fiber or via electromagnetic radiation, in computer loading and computer program code, computer will become one and implement equipment of the present invention.In the time of run time version on a general processor, computer program code segments will be configured processor, so that create specific logical circuit.
